Eliminate the CDC! We don’t need no steenkin food inspections,,,right?
My post wasn’t particularly aimed at you.
I am on the other side of the world, so I am not concerned, but wouldn’t most of these products be cooked or recooked before consuming?
Does E.coli produce toxic chemicals that are not destroyed by cooking?
Yes, if properly cooked to 165DEG the bacteria would be killed. However, these foods are almost always precooked and even though they are made to be completely reheated, they often times are not. So, this is a form of over caution and it is a good thing.

Never ever heard of Farm Rich. Must be a regional brand?
Ever notice that a good number of these companies that have recalls for E. Coli and whatnot seem to have an unusually large recently immigrated muslim population of workers? I’m wondering...
Cheers!
Of course when there is an industrial size problem it requires an industrial size solution as in the Food Safety Act which in this case has worked with typical government effectiveness.

We have it here in the supermarkets in Georgia. I buy the Farm Rich mozzarella bites for my kids. Good thing I haven’t purchased any recently.
